Hi all - my name is Megan. I was in store doing computer and Facebook work for a little over a year before COVID hit and my other businesses were turned upside down. My husband and I are entrepreneurs and working at Barbara's Needlepoint was a bright spot in my weeks where I was surrounded by women, creativity, color and fiber! In April last year, I had to focus solely on our family businesses and my kids who were now at home. Fast forward to October. Our businesses are a little more manageable and Barbara has exciting news for the store. They are moving to a bigger space... and would I like to be a part of it. My answer was YES right away.
My first order of business - www.barbarasneedlepoint.com. We are building a website that will grow, morph and change as we hear what existing clients, new needlepointers and long time enthusiasts need and want! We will start with kits featuring our local canvas designers with thread selection from the Barbara's team and go from there. And we're bringing you all along for the ride!
I'll pop in a couple times a week and let you know what part of the website puzzle I'm working on.
So happy you are creating a website. I live in a rural area and do ALL of my needlepoint shopping online.
Good luck, and enjoying being on fb seeing all the stitching and finishing done by very creative people. Lovely. Wondering if can find new canvases there or have to wait till new site is up, living inStaten Island, N.y., so tiny, we have no needlepoint store anymore. Hard to not be able to see in person, but many online sites give us very good accurate pictures. Marianne
